I run the same set ups for browns as I do salmon never know on Lake O what you are going to have hit I would rather have heavier gear than to not have heavy enough if a king hits it

no idea how they are doing out of Sampson but I do know where they are but not going to say too much as I am hitting them Saturday if you want to come along with me then be glad to have another one out there I may have a couple more people coming as well

I know of a few good spots and launches too on Seneca Lake

I fish Seneca for perch without a boat this time of year thru the spring when I want them and normally do great around the pier and docks in Seneca harbor when they get in there they are there by the thousands you will see them carpeting the bottom so thick you can not see the bottom don't know how it is doing right now but they should be at least starting to come in there now

I use Okumas and love them and have them matched with Okuma reels my dipsey rods are Diawa heartlands 10'6 rods like the longer rods myself got long rods for planers also

the title says it is a 400 copper so 400 ft of copper

I use 30# mono and a 20- 30# floro leader get bites and don't loose fish never know what you are going to get hit by in the spring could be king, brown, chrome or laker this past spring caught only browns when I was out but we lost some kings at the back of the boat and had one fish on I could not gain line on that got off on us

nice bear

great brown there and great report

take a mix of minnows and crawlers and fish from the fishing doc close to the launch at the Oak should do something there

it definitely depends on put and take no way we can keep enough to destroy a put and take fishery as long as people keep them within the law. that is that they are put in for

ok here are my thoughts on it a 15 inch salmon well I have never caught one that small but if I did and nothing else being caught at that time and I have released several of them I would move to a different location to try to find bigger fish. yes I do keep fish the salmon I have caught this year have been from 10-20 lbs and I kept all 4 of them I kept 6 browns all over 4 lbs biggest 13 lbs and 4 steelhead 5-8 lbs yes I keep them to feed my family a better quality and healthier for you fish than you buy in the store we hate the GMO fish as they are bad for you much prefer nice good healthy fish from our fishery to eat that being said if I do catch a 15 inch salmon one day yes it will go back unless that is absolutely all I can find that day and I am out of fish in the freezer for my family to eat

just because it isn't bad now they could have the advisory because of bad weather or high winds moving in be careful if you go out
